I went to the Texas Tech vs A&M game a couple of weekends ago and what a game that was. Being a Lubbock resident I of course was rooting for the home team but to no avail. I could go on and on about that game but I won't because that is not what this post is about. The photo below is. Bask in the fiery sunset.
Jones Stadium 10/8/2011
This picture is an example of one of those occurrences when you are able to capture exactly what you had pictured in your head. I am proud of this photo not only because of the timing (the sky did not stay like that for long) but because this is my first attempt at a panoramic High Dynamic Range (HDR) photo and it was all handheld. Im a tripod guy, and since the stadium does not allow tripods i had to make due. This picture actually consists of 9 photographs merged together. I had a sweep of three (one left, one middle, one right) and for those of your who do not know what HDR actually means, it is essentially a way of recreating the dynamic range of light that the human eye can see with our much less dynamic camera sensors by combining multiple exposures of the same scene. So for each photo i took (left, middle, front) i actually took three exposures and combined them together to get this end result.
